I always liked the Super Famicom design much better than the SNES.

a new-for-the-time white 8-bit Famicom called the "Famicom Adaptor"
(unreleased) but was clearly a standalone Famicom console, not an
adaptor for the SFC. note: this was NOT the original Japanese Famicom
from 1983 that came out before the NES. it is a 1988 re-design of the
Famicom styled like the then-new Super Famicom.

well, technically, they were the same, as the Super Famicom design was
used for the European SNES :)

but you're right, the american version was just ugly.

Definitely a great find, I enjoyed looking at these pictures and game
pictures. It brought back some memories
